OneRedmond was extremely excited to host this year’s East King Chambers Coalition (EKCC) Legislative Wrap Up event and reception here in Redmond on Thursday, July 21 from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn Redmond.  To best showcase the exciting work going on in Redmond, we also organized small pre-event briefings and tours for legislators and guests at a few organizations including: Sound Transit’s Redmond Technology Station & Garage, SpaceX, Stryker and the Together Center.

The Legislative Wrap Up featured welcomes from OneRedmond CEO Kristina Hudson, Redmond Mayor Angela Birney, and event sponsor Jared Axelrod with Amazon.  Chamber leaders, and city, business and nonprofit executives were then able to hear from legislators directly about the actions taken during the last session.  Click here to review the 2022 EKCC Legislative Wrap Up Recap.
